Alaskan Marmaduke!

Every time we turn around, Juneau has outgrown another crate. She was 35 lbs. when she arrived here a little over 6 weeks ago (and she had grown quite a bit during the weeks she spent in her previous foster home too) and she is WAY over that now. So big we can't weigh her on the home scale anymore, so we will need to run by a vet on our way home from an outing sometime to check. We have her in a 36" crate now.

Anyway, her constant growing and large size (not to mention a-typical appearance) make everyone (including us!) wonder if she is a mix rather than a double-merle Aussie (though she does look a bit like the homozygous merle dog shown here). And we have taken to giving her little nicknames as well. When she is hanging out with our foster dog, Hugo, we like to call them Hugo and Huge-O. And Jason has taken to calling her our "Alaskan Marmaduke". We think she is about 6 months old now, so she is getting closer to being full-grown. Any guesses on what the scale will show this week?
